Any Feb bandster gotten a fill yet?



Recommended Posts

I had my first fill yesterday! I had 1.6 cc in it to begin with - so he just put in .4cc to top it up to 2cc! Told me they go about this very conservatively and slowly - which I don't mind at all...this way I don't get any complications. I do feel that I get fuller a heck of a lot quicker and I don't get hungry so quickly which rocks my world!:rolleyes:

Boy is it quiet around here!! I FINALLY got my first fill today! Funny I would consider my dr. very conservative but yet he told me I didn't have to do just liquids after my fill...I do notice a bit of a difference...will see how tomorrow goes. Wasn't painful just a little pokey. Will go back in another 6 weeks and he will add more...he does the first two in 1cc incriments and then goes down from there as needed. I already had 2cc's in there at placement so I now have 3cc's. What is everyone else at??

Hi Soph! I agree -- it's very quiet around here. I hope everybody is going okay! :)

I'm glad your first fill went well! My doctor sounds almost exactly like your doctor! I got my first fill a little quicker than you (about 7.5 weeks out from being banded) -- I had 2 cc's from installation and he added 1 cc -- for 3 cc's total. My second fill isn't until almost the end of May -- and I do think that I need a little more (he will add another 1 cc), because I am getting a little hungrier between meals...almost moreso than before the first fill. Weird?! :blink: It might be because I'm exercising more, but it's still kind of strange. LoL. How many calories a day are you eating? I'm doing pretty good sticking to 1200 a day with 65+ grams of Protein...now if I can only get DH to ditch the Ben & Jerrys! UGH! :wacko:

Have a great day fellow bandsters! :D

The posting string on-line is lost?

I weight in daily as I am a scale addict. I have been really sick these last 2 weeks and haven't been able to workout. When I do my workouts with weights I can lose 1-2 lbs/wk.

I am at 5 CC's and think I am good. I still get hungry every 2 hours. I eat no more than 1 cup of food and sit around 1400 calories. Down 5 lbs total for the last month with being sick & Easter.

My clothes are getting bigger :).

Good luck all!

Cheers,

Kristi

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
